Anyone Out There Still Punch Louvers?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by BIGREDTODD, Jan 17, 2007.

  1. I AM THINKING ABOUT HAVING AN EXTRA HOOD LOUVERED FOR MY '60 F100.

    IS THERE ANYONE IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA THAT CAN BE TRUSTED TO DO THIS ANYMORE?

    THANKS FOR THE HELP
     
  2. Surely Someone Has To Have A Punch...

    Bay Area???

  7. Bud don't take this wrong but go to the junk yard and get some hoods, punch some junk hoods , then tell people you can punch after you have had some practice on hoods ! Scrap sheet metal is not the same !
